We live today, know the origin of the earth, understand the origin of humans and animals. We know how hot boiling water is and how long a yard is. Our captain knows how to accurately measure latitude and longitude, but we don’t have a chart or compass to guide us through the vast sea of language. Now is the time to give this great language the respect and respect it deserves. As with other scientific standards. Send the words you find to Oxford, and let us all join this great journey together, connecting each other through the huge postal network. "
"This is a long journey, but we can hold up this language. You volunteers are like rungs on a ladder, allowing us to take English to the door of heaven."
"How can such an educated person degenerate into a beast?"
"Doctor, I didn't come here because of courage."
"Doctor, I will get better...I will get better."
"Every word we use becomes beautiful because of its own meaning."
"I'm tired. My original intention was to create unprecedented works, to sort out the vocabulary system, so that the world can understand and use them, I swear that I will not make any concessions. The matter is now, at this moment, my The determination is stronger than ever."
"Let those who can help cast fishing nets in the ocean of vocabulary. I would like to throw a fishing line to catch all the relevant quotations that you can't find, as long as you call. Your sincere friend, William Miner."
"Let us use pen and ink instead of communicating with ourselves, until one day we are lucky enough to meet."
"When thinking about the word Art, I thought of what a great man of our time said:

"Let me teach you, this is freedom, Mrs. Merritt. Standing on the spine of the book, I can fly out of the wall. With the wings of words, I have been to the end of the world. No one chased me when I was reading. , I am the one who chases, chasing in the footsteps of God. I beg you, chase with me."
"Who is she?" "Someone who can't love." "The more you can't love, the deeper you love." "My heart is dying." "According to my understanding of love, my heart is often an antidote."
"The mind is broader than the sky, because when put together, the former can easily tolerate the latter and also tolerate you around you. The mind is the same weight as God. If you weigh them, a pound is a pound. If they have The difference is like a syllable is different from a sound."

"Fortunately, those hateful guys believe in the supremacy of sovereignty. If they don't abide by those stupid and complicated rules, their entire world will fall apart. So we use this to deal with them."
"How many new words have replaced old words, and how many new words have appeared with new things we can't imagine. No language is immutable, James, any language that comes from life will change. You have given its heart , Latecomers will continue this business because you have pointed the way for them. But it will never be completed."
